Low-Wage Work in the Wealthy World

The book summarizes the results of a multi-year study sponsored by the Russell Sage Foundation of low-wage work in Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, with links back to an earlier related project on Low-Wage America.

The first section of the book provides a cross-cutting overview of labor-market institutions in each of the five countries. The second section reviews the findings of case studies of low-wage occupations in five industries --hotels, hospitals, call centers, food processing, and retail.
